As if Mark Cuban is ever without a contingent of armed guards who clear his path for him on the rare occasions he's ever on the same sidewalk as a black yoot wearing a hoodie.
Too me a while to realize that “hoodie” referred to an article of clothing, not a person who lives in certain area. I need to keep up with the current language.
During DemocRAT Conventions, the RATS put up 12 foot high chain link fences and clear the streets of hoodies for a half-mile around.
The truth is offensive.
I don’t know. Is it wrong that I enjoy watching Liberals get caught up in the web of political correctness they’ve helped create and getting eaten by their own?
If theres a big white guy wearing a hoodie and a small black guy wearing a suit on opposite sides of the street. I’ll walk on the same side as the black guy. OMG, thats racism!
But I’m not offended by it at all.
The truth isn’t offensive, the truth is simply the truth.
Cuban's limo, pulls up to the front of any entrance to any place he wants to go, and six, ex-Navy Seals, armed to the teeth, stand, shoulder to shoulder, and provide 99.99% cover for his rich ass {that's OK by me}.
If a black guy wearing a hoody is getting into that place, chances are 7 out of 10 that they are one of Mark Cuban's players.
I don’t know if it’s wrong. I just know you’re not alone in your thinking!
About 15 years ago I spent a lot of time traveling around N. America teaching 3 and 4 day classes. In the evenings I’d often be restless, so I’d go for long walks.
Took off down the highway from my hotel in St. Petersburg, and eventually wound up in the depths of the hood well after dark. Got several offers for sale of illegal substances and questionable personal services.
Kept going till I got to a convenience store, still in the hood, and decided I’d call a cab to get back.
Called the company, described my location. They said it would be less than 10 minutes. Called back twice more over the next hour. They kept saying a cab would be along momentarily. I kept seeing empty cabs go by.
Called back the third time, explained to the dispatcher that the driver would be able to pick me out because I was the only white guy there. Less than five minute, a cab pulls up.
Driver is a big black guy. He said a couple of cabbies had been killed picking up fares in that neighborhood in the previous year, both of them black, and none of the cabbies would pick up black people there after dark. And completely unapologetic about it.
Of course the truth is sometimes (often) offensive.
But that’s the fault of the offended person, not of the truth or the person stating it.
Everyone know "NRA" really stands for National Racist Association just like everyone knows "NBA" really stands for National Bigots Association.
Everyone knows "everyone" needs to get their heads straight and stop being so inherently racist or they will be in BIG trouble!
Discrimination is a God given right like freedom of religion, speech, bear arms, association.
I may not agree with your discrimination but I will fight to the death for your right to discriminate.
Freedom of discrimination, not from discrimination.
Will Cuban be a man- or will he end up making a pathetic a** of himself on national TV by whining, sniveling and begging Holder’s people for forgiveness like Sterling and Paula Deen?
If you can’t stand by your convictions, then keep your d*mn piehole shut.
Why don’t they ask the black players how they feel about the few white players in the league?

May 2, 2014, - 10:50 am Black NBA Owner Held Black Only Party, Whites Turned Away; NBA Did Nothing
By Debbie Schlussel
In the wake of this week’s NBA proposed lifetime ban and $2.5 million fine for Donald Sterling, a longtime reader reminded me that I’d written about another NBA owner, a Black man, who held a party in which Whites were refused entry and turned away. And, yet, the NBA did nothing.
As I’ve already pointed out, Black racism and bigotry against Whites, Jews, Mormons, and gays is tolerated by the NBA. But a private racist conversation by a White owner is not. And here is an instance of a Black then-NBA owner whose public, deliberate racism was tolerated and ignored. Jay-Z a/k/a Shawn Carter was an owner of the Brooklyn Nets, an NBA Team, from 2003 through mid-April 2013. But, as I noted on this site, in February 2010, Jay-Z held a lavish party at the Merah club in central London, and banned White people from attending. The party, for music industry executives, reporters, and other Jay-Z ass-kissers was for Blacks only. Bouncers were instructed to refuse entry to Whites.
Reader Chris reminded me that I’d written about this, and noted:
Wasn’t Jay-Z part owner of Brooklyn/New Jersey Nets when he threw that racist party you wrote about? I don’t remember any NBA controversy over that.
I don’t either, but here’s a reminder from my 2010 post, “More Obama ‘Post-Racialism’ Courtesy of Jay-Z“:
Jay-Z was caught up in a race row when bouncers at his BRITs after-show party “banned” white people from boozing with the star. Chart legend Jay-Z threw a lavish bash but music industry executives, journalists and revellers were turned away from the roped-off area because of the colour of their skin.
I love Mark Cuban.
I think he said it about right.
Okay. I'm stealing that.
I may or may not give you credit. Just kidding. Of course I won't give you credit.
